The iPhone is easily the most overrated thing out there.

I love the etching on the knives. Hard to get that delicate work with rudimentary stuff. I think it's probably engraved instead of etched. Very beautiful work.

If they want to attract a younger audience than all equestrian sports should be out. I'd put in something like paintball. Hey if shooting a gun standing still is a sport, why not shooting while running and ducking?

Stupid decision by the IOC. I don't understand how you can have "sports" like dressage, which is basically horses dancing around, but you'd dump a sport like wrestling that has been there since the first games. If you don't sweat, it's not a sport.

Gambit, Any idea on how far you think China is from what you would consider a straight up 5th gen fighter? Is there anyway you gauge where China is from the technological advances of today compared to years past? Where does China stand in technological capability compared to other countries...

I guess if you're living, food, health and other miscellaneous is covered, then it wouldn't be too bad. If you have a family with a mortgage (which I'm sure a lot are), that would not be that great. Anyone have any figures for other countries? No snide remarks about 50 cents.

That is pretty sad indeed. Hope he finds something soon but considering his medical problems, his options will be limited. I always thought they paid more than 54k/year. Not to be insulting or anything but I made just slightly under that after university. Those guys that risk so much...

Pakistan is very lucky to have them.

I'm quite pissed off too and I've been following the news on Chinese sites. This is so messed up.

Ouch, that was really harsh. I know Zero Wing tends to rub people the wrong way on here but most Filipinos are cool. :cheers:

I think that's what they call speed tape. It's supposed to be somewhat common.

Welcome to forum

I can confirm this. But we mostly like to use this when looking at girls.

yup...jailtime

How dare you call me a liar.

Neither will they miss English food. I kid....:azn:

@Luftwaffe I admit that I chortled.

I do believe that killing doesn't necessarily equate to cruelty. If it were the case, as you pointed out, we'd all be guilty of it. However, I do believe that modern agricultural practices aren't perfect and the treatment, processing and slaughter of animals can be done in a more humane way...
